New install of bbpress v2.7.5 on wordpress v4.2.2

Question: How can I redirect to /forum after login? I have forum page set as a private page. bbpress forums need to be private and only accessed by registered users.

I have searched for info on how to login/register and then redirect to a forum and haven’t been successful in finding a simple solutions. Some solutions look too complicated regarding writing code. I would assume there is a simple solution here.

I have tried a redirect plugin (peter’s) and doesn’t work for bbpress users set with any bbpress role but does work if I login in as wp-admin with wp admin rights.

Sorry but I don’t know what and where to add something. In the widget.php I have this :

<?php		if ($show_user) :

			echo '<div class="bbp_show_user">by <span class="topic-author">' . $author_link . '</span></div>';

		endif;

		if ($show_forum) :

			echo '<div class="bbp_show_forum">In: <a href="' . bbp_get_forum_permalink($forum_id) . '">' . bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id) . '</a></div>';

		endif;

		if ($show_date) :

			echo '<div class="bbp_show_date">';

			bbp_topic_last_active_time($topic_id);

			echo '</div>';

		endif;

		if ($show_detail) :

			echo '<div class="bbp_show_detail">';

			bbp_topic_excerpt($topic_id);

			echo '</div>';

		endif; ?>

I think that I have something to do with the bbp_get_forum_permalink to go to the last page of the topic.

I have tried to add this to the .php of the widget but it’s not working

I’m a noob in php … I just know where to find the files on my ftp and to edit if someone know what I could add to the files. I have tried the widget “last posts” but it show all the last posts even if the lasts were in the same topic. It doesn’t display the news topics if nobody reply into them.

see if the note left here can help.

and also if this topic helps.

Kunena converter for bbPress 2.4

It was https://thedomain.com/ for wordpress and bbpress was standard, so https://thedomain.com/forums/

For the path, it was standard for WP Engine:

/nas/wp/www/cluster-1234/thedomain/

The log was just getting spammed with that error until I added that array(). But it wasn’t the big problem, so I wouldn’t have looked or noticed it unless I was having some other unrelated issue.

[Robkk]

instead of this on single forums

bbpress.org/forums/forum/pimp-your-press/

you would have this.

bbpress.org/forum/pimp-your-press/

And if you create a category for some forums you could have

bbpress.org/forum/design/pimp-your-press/

[Robkk]

not yet but there are plans to include something to list moderators

Nope, its on WP Engine. I went to look through the logs because I was having the capabilities problem. I couldn’t access any of the wp-admin bbpress screens without permissions errors. I used User Role Editor, and hit reset to fix that.

Then looking through the logs the were just filled with the same error from the same line as this person who started this thread. Changed the path to HIDDEN here:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in HIDDEN\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php on line 1446

Going into functions.php and changing the second parameter to be wrapped in an array() call fixes it.

You can try flushing your permalinks and see if that works

How to install bbPress.

Installing bbPress

The search box I am not sure what you are after really, bbPress comes with its own forum wide search though.

[Krissieg]

Hi there,

I’m having issues with setting up the login part of my forum.
I created a lost-password page and a register page as instructed and then added the bbPress login widget to my page. However, the site does’t like it and gives me this error page with the message:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, you@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

When I remove the bbPress login widget then the forums page opens fine.

Please help!

Thank you

WordPress 4.2.2
bbPress Version 2.5.7
s2Member Pro Framework Version 150311

From Users when using Bulk Actions to change an s2Member Role (from e.g. Free Subscriber to Level 1) bbPress Forum Role changes from e.g. Participant to No Role.

Updating Role 1 User at a time (clicking Username then Edit User) bbPress Forum Role remains Participant. So no problem updating Users 1 at a time.

I have searched the webernets tirelessly for an answer to this problem with no luck. I was checking out the example forums you list here bbpress.org/about/examples/ when I came across a site called tamrielfoundry.com/ and I noticed that they break up groups of forums. If you look at the first section “General Discussion” and click on one of the forums you will notice that the URL changes from tamrielfoundry.com/forums/ to tamrielfoundry.com/forum/general/general-discussion/ If you click on the top forum in the next section you jump from tamrielfoundry.com/forums/ to tamrielfoundry.com/forum/classes/class-discussion/ They seem to have the ability to have more than one single forum. Is this even possible with bbpress or has this site changed to a different forum? If this isn’t bbpress, is this kind of thing even possible. I would love the ability to break up sections of forums even if I have to somehow create a main forum page and build it by hand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to use forums as a main page of web site, I did it. But forum itself seems to be conflicting with some one, and I cannot find the problem, please help.
site is here http://www.zibi.ru
I’m using Spacious theme.

WP version: 4.2.2
BBPress: 2.5.7

[Robkk]

Your theme is causing the issue , especially its styles for WordPress comments.

Try this custom CSS

#bbpress-forums .reply a {
  font-size: inherit;
  line-height: inherit;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  float: none;
  color: #c1052c;
}

#bbpress-forums .reply a:hover {
  color: #42a202;
}

Also in your CSS your links do not really have a defined color to them. There is this CSS, but it should be something like this #c1052c

p a, a {
  color: c1052c;
}

Update: For anyone else who has the same issue, this plugin seemed to solve it for me.

@Robkk

First off, thank you! for pointing me to files Rob, that’s always my first battle. And thanks for giving me the clues to the solutions.

I got notified right when you replied, on Sunday no less! And was SO excited! Thanks for responding on your personal time.

Now I’m just trying to sort out your recommendations..lol! Seeing what files to work on helps me focus my learning curve.

The avatar on the left (in the Edited View of above image) is going to hook back to the authors Buddypress Profile. Seeing that the file is structured in an unordered list helps me understand what’s happening with the php a little better.

I have too much to learn! lol!, I wish there was a forum where services could be traded. :o)

Here is how I sorted it out;

First
This article provided a snippet example that showed me the correct statement to put into a <li></li> right above the top li in loop-single-topic.php, I only had to add the class="bbp-topic-author-link" to the li, and then tell it to float-left/padding-0,10 in the child-theme/bbPress/css and voila! Wooohoooooo!!! Sorry, I get excited when things go right! lol!

Second
I commented out the Forum Titles – Voices/Freshness in loop-topics.php like this

<!-- 			<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
			<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
 -->

..and then move the reply count over & under Freshness, (again, with css)

Third
I’ll be back, I like to keep a record in my Topics here, cause I know!, I’ll forget! lol!

I have a problem with importing Kunena Forum to bbPress forum. I do import through the import function in bbPress. All forum posts are imported fine, but lacking usernames. All user names are labeled as anonymous.

[confessng]

Oooh seriously that’s what you get when a newbie has forum ideas ….thank you sooo much for pointing it out ,and I was so sure it was bbpress

[gavintyte]

I no longer to wish for members to login to my site to post in the bbPress forums. I can turn on anonymous posting (like anonymous comments)

Is there a way of converting existing bbPress users to Guest users? e.g. Export and Re-import perhaps?

Try some troubleshooting first if you haven’t already. Especially the theme and plugin sections.
